The Scottsdale Police Department arrested a man in connection with a fake charity golf tournament scam he said would benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, according to authorities.

Robert Francis Alexander, 57, has been charged with fraudulent schemes and theft from May through July relating to the scam, Scottsdale police announced Sunday.

“Multiple citizens reported that Robert Alexander was collecting money on behalf of the Wounded Warrior Project for a charity golf tournament at the Silverleaf Golf Course,” a department release stated.

“The golf tournament did not exist, and the Wounded Warrior Project charity had no knowledge of Alexander, nor his activity. It was also reported Alexander was collecting money as an investment in purchasing golf balls to be sold in and around Scottsdale.”

An investigation by detectives in the financial crimes unit found the suspect was conducting multiple fraudulent schemes, officials stated.

Alexander was arrested Aug. 8 by Scottsdale police detectives in Phoenix.
